Is it possible to add an extra column writing about win% of a player at the main Ranking List?

@Buns This was my original idea :) - 128 players will be invited to the 4 Grand Slams
- 64 players to the 8 Masters 1000 events
- 32 players to the 500 series events
- 16 players to the 250 series tourneys
In the beginning I thought the AWP World Tour will work similar than the tennis Tour. In the tennis, the TOP players mainly plays on the 12 major events and only a few 500 or 250 Series events only (and only their sponsor the reason why they play on them at all :D ). A TOP30 player average play only on 20-22 events per year (on the 12 major plus 8-10 smaller events). But in our AWP World Tour, you guys, you are fanatic :D The TOP30 players joining almost all the events so far :D This is why I had to raise the original player numbers and use "qualification" rounds. So now the 250 Series events are very hard in Ranking point of view. You have to win 3 games to get 45 points (in a Grand Slam you get it after 1 win, the other events need 2 wins but not 3). And if you win the event you get only 250 points (compared to 500, 1000 or 2000), and still need to win 6 games for it :O But again, originally, these 250 Series events are for the medium players to gain some points for the Rankings, not the TOP players :D But became to this :D Anyway, I am open every proposals to improve the Tour. @Pana I am planning to improve the google sheet, and if I separate the present win-loss field then I can create a new automate calculated win% field. Anyway, we are talking with PJ about some changes on the Tour, but now there is nothing clear yet.

maybe a limited participation from the top players in 250 500? for example you have to sign up max 5? and special tournaments for new people or midlle in points people? and only 1-2 small tournaments with the top 16 but it will mainly be a show not many points just for the fight between the top 16 for example
special tournaments can give for example a guaranteed wild card in a grand slam or other tournaments

Those are called 1000 master or Grand Slams, thats the point with this system.
That some tournaments are given more points for example the 4 Grand Slams which are a lot more attractive to go far in than the 250 if u want to gain more points.
If u want to make all tournaments counts for the same amount of points, the hole system would be almost similar to the current WSOW, just with more tournaments ongoing.

- MoD did a very nice 5-0 records too, but did only one finals (a new 250 Series semifinal, what means he will need 500 Series SF or 250 Series final to get any additional points to his best six results in the future :O), so got points but not so much than Buns, so he slipped back to the third position.
- DR. Love's story continued, after he earlier defeated GreenTea, Timon, last weak won against Sultan and Milly too and reached the final in the first Grand Slam! And did a flawless 4-0 record too btw. Very big congrats!

I don't think there is an issue :) Good! (RigidGodfatherLook smiley) Joke aside, @DR. Love (or Buns), I am really waiting for the exact issue with the event levels, because I don't fully understand it. Ok, now the 250 Series events are not really easier than even the Grand Slams (only one thing, -1 game needed for win) because the most TOP players always join and play :D So same difficulty level but only about 10% of the obtainable points (2000 points for a Grand Slam event win, and only 250 for a 250 Series event win, or 45 points for 1 game win in a Grand Slam, while need 3 wins in a 250 Series event for 45 points!) But hey, why do you join to the 250 Series events? :P If for pure fun, then HF :D If for some more records beside the fun, then GL&HF :D But for points not really worth. The 12 major events are the core of the Rankings, and from these, there are four highlighted events (the Grand Slams) which are the most important in Ranking point of view. If you want good rank, you should play on the 12 major events, and on some (mainly 500 Series) smaller events for the best six results, and that's all. Of course, if you have enough time, you can play in all events, but mainly for fun. I think this system is good, because not very much time or games needed to reach the top of the Rankings. If you are very good, and want to get the first position, you have to play during one year maximum (or less if you win all events where you joined :D ) and play only on 15-20 single elimination tourneys (with 64-128 players) during that year. Eh, too much speech again :D Put it more simply, major events for Rankings, smaller events for fun :D @Buns: yw and corrected :D

If u want to make all tournaments counts for the same amount of points, the hole system would be almost similar to the current WSOW, just with more tournaments ongoing. I don't agree. The main difference between the WSOW and the Tour, that the WSOW has got a beginning and an end (and there are seasons), but the Tour hasn't got an end :D It is similar than the 1vs1 ladder just using tournament formats :D

Ok, seems there is no serious problem with the present tournament levels (DR. Love sent me private mail), great. But if still it is any with it, please anybody feel free to write here (better than private mail, because we can discuss it with more players). Ok, so no problem with the event levels, but we have one with the present expiration rule. My partner, PJ drew my attention to it (so more organizers = better series) :D My original plan was that all results will be expired on the next year Monday when the given event started (for example an event started on the 30th week of 2016, then all results from that event will be expired on Monday of the 30th week of 2017). But in an extreme situation, possible that a result never counted :O I mean the case when an event doesn't finish in one year (so the event results will be deleted before some of them (finals) can be counted :D ) PJ proposed this expiration system: The points could count untill the next year's equivalent tournament is finished?
Meaning the points earned in Grand Slam #3 2016 stay finished untill Grans Slam #3 2017 is finished.
The points earned in Grand Slam #3 2017 expire when Grand Slam #3 20178 is completed.. I like it, seems better than the old one. Ok, in very extreme situation still possible the issue above, but the average time while a result can be alive will be exactly 1 year! And it is true for all results, I mean, now, it is very varied, earlier round results live much more than the final points for example, in the new system this will be unified for all results! But it is associated with the present Rankings and updates (pretty big) changing too :O I mean, in the present system, if you win a simple game on any Tour event, on next week Mondays it will be counted to your ranking points immediately. But in the new system, there will be monthly ranking list instead of weekly (because though if 1 event start in every week, average 1 event will finished per weeks, but that is only average, there will be weeks where no any new finished event, so no sense to make weekly ranking lists, but likely always will be new finished events in monthly base.). Plus if you win a game on any Tour event, it will be counted only after the whole event will be finished! So in the old system your all wins counted on the next Mondays, in the new systems your wins will be counted in the next month and only that case if the given event will be finished until the end of the present month! And of course, the present Rankings will be changed a lot too :O I will remove all the points from events which haven't finished yet, and remain only the points from the finished events (we have 7 finished events so far, and 12 started one so...) But the good news that administer this new system is much much more simple, so I will have more time for improving the Tour or create other stuff, because though I liked to work on the updates a lot, but it used up all my Warlight time :| I post here this, because before we change the system I am interested in your opinions. Because some present weekly statistics and records will be ceased or replaced with monthly based ones, and the weekly updates will be ceased too in the present format (there will be monthly news instead of it, and likely will be shorter news between them too) So what do you think about it?

Very good examples, thank you PJ! 2) Player y won the first 500 Series in 2017 (500 points), but did not join the first 500 Series in 2018. When the 2018 tournament is finished, the 500 points expire and will be replaced by the next best performance of that player in a 250 or 500 Series. Some more details: ...will be replaced by the next < not already counted > best perfomrance... (so actually by the 6th NOT EXPIRED best results :D ) And the 100th post belong to me yeah :D

Regarding example 2), do you keep track of every player's 500 and 250 results? If you only write down the best 6 results, you might have some problems next year when some of the 6 best performances will get replaced. Rather than going through every tournament one by one, for every replacement, it might be better to keep track of everything right now.
Anyway, I think this new system is a great idea! Unless you find a way to somehow automate the process, doing monthly updates is probably your best option.
It will significantly reduce your workload if you only update the tournaments that ended during the month. And it will keep things fair for players who are still waiting for their 2nd game, while other players have already completed 3 or 4 games.
Also, since we're discussing rules, I think you should implement a rule against players stalling or playing too slowly. There are many complaints regarding this problem on the tournament chats, so it's probably best to address it as soon as possible.
I'm not saying we should change the 3-day speed or not allow players to go on vacations. But the AWP World Tour was always designed to have fast tournaments (hence the single-elimination format rather than the fairer double-elimination), and I believe we should keep it this way.
On the seasonal ladder wiki, it is written that "Players are expected to make a reasonable effort to finish a game before the season ends.". Well, it should be the same on the Tour. Players should be expected to make a reasonable effort to quickly finish their game, if that game is clearly stalling the whole tournament.
And if a player doesn't make that effort, or can't make that effort because he has a busy life, then perhaps he should stop receiving invites before he finishes his game.
(I'm not attacking anyone here, I'm just saying that the spirit of this Tour is to have a lot of fast tournaments, and we should try to preserve it. :) )
